; floor, the Department of Chemistry the second, the Department of Biology the third, the Depart- 
part of these professions. ment of Mining Engineering the basement. 


The School of Mines has its foundation in a grant of 40,000 acres of land set aside for the purpose by 
_, an act of Congress at the time North Dakota was admitted to the Union. 
“™ Well Trained Men Needed. 


The wonderful development of the resources of this country has made the mining industry second only 





to that of agriculture. It is easily seen that the successful development of such resources requires special 
training in engineering, mining, metallurgy, chemistry, geology and other kindred sciences. With this in view 
the courses in the School of Mines have been arranged so as to give a thorough technical education to those 
desiring to become mining engineers, metallurgists, and superintendents of industries, and so as to produce 
men capable of developing the resources of the state. 

Advantages. 

The School of Mines is supplied with crushers, pulverizers, clay, coal and ore working machinery, re- 
ducing furnaces, assay furnaces and other apparatus necessary for an extended course in mining, metallurgy, 
etc. Students in mining engineering, have by special arrangement, the additional advantage of the instruction, 
shops and fine epuipment of the mechanical engineering department. The courses of instruction are thorough 


and the work is practical.

THE NORMAL COLLEGE. 
JOsEPH KENNEDY, M. A., Dean. 


The Normal College is fortunate in having secured the services of Mrs. Alice W. Cooley, recently super- 
visor of primary work in the Minneapolis schools and a woman of national reputation in educational circles. 


HE NORMAL COLLEGE 

offers superior advantages 

to those desiring to fit them- 
selves for teaching. 


Normal Diploma. 


To those completing the 
course the Normal Diploma is 
awarded, and becomes a state 
certificate. Students in the 
Normal department have the 
advantage of spending a few 
years in college halls, and of 
using the University tTabora- 
tories and library, the finest in 
the state. 


A Broad and Deep Course. 


It will take you a year 

BUDGE HALL. longer to graduate from the 

Normal College than it would 

from most Normal Schools; but if you can not graduate, it pays asit goes. If you can graduate you are so much 

the better fitted for the profession and for life. The broader and deeper course is always the better in the end. 
Winter School for Teachers. 

A winter School for teachers is offered during the second term, beginning the first week in January. 

All the courses offered in the summer school, and more, are given. Come and spend a term at the University 

for a good review or for new work. For further information, send for catalogue. 





THE COLLEGE OF LAW. 
Hon. Guy C. H. Cor iss, Dean, 


The State University offers the very best facilities to those contemplating the study of law. 
The Faculty. 


The faculty consists of eleven regular instructors and lecturers and six special lecturers. Hon. Guy C. 
H. Corliss, formerly Chief Justice of the state, isdean. Andrew A. Bruce, recently Professor of Law and 
Assistant dean of the Law School of the University of Wisconsin, is Professor of Law and secretary of the 
faculty. Few schools in the country have an abler law faculty. 


Graduates Admitted to the Bar Without Examination. 


_ The diploma of the College of Law admits its holder without further examination to practice in all the 
courts of the state and carries with it the degree of Bachelor of Laws. 


Length of Course. 


The course covers only two years but the College is in session six days each week for thirty-six weeks 
and covers as much ground and covers it as thoroughly as other schools do in three years. The North Dakota 
Law School offers the best possible training for North Dakota lawyers. It is the only school in the country 
in which the North Dakota code is used as the basis of instruction. 


, 


Quarters. : 


Upon the opening of the fall term the College of Law will occupy new quarters in the office building 
now in process of erection on DeMers Avenue. This will be, when completed, the finest building in the state 
and one of the finest in the northwest. The new quarters will consist of spacious lecture rooms, a fine library 
and reading room, private offices, etc. The new building will be centrally located and will be largely occu- 
pied by lawyers’ offices, so that some of the best law libraries in the state will be within easy access of the 
students of the law school. The College itself has an excellent library to which additions are constantly 
being made. 


Expense. 


The total expenses for the year, including the tuition fee of fifty dollars, need not exceed two hun- 
dred dollars. Where else can a North Dakota young man secure as good a legal training for as little money,

THE SCHOOL OF COMMERCE. 
Wo. M. Bryant, M. Acct., Princepal. ‘ 


O you want to learn 

to do business in 

a business-like way? Do 
you wish to fit yourself 
to be an expert stenog- 
rapher, typewriter, book- 
keeper or accountant? 
If so, you should attend 
the School of Commerce 
at the State University. 


The Age Demands 
Careful Preparation. 

The demands of 
a business life are every 





day becoming more ex- 

acting. - To succeed, a 

A VIEW IN THE LIBRARY. Rake aig Septem iene gt 

needs preparation. To 

meet this demand a great many private commercial schools have sprung up. But lately many of the leading 

colleges have been establishing departments of commerce. Your State University i is not behind in this respect. 

A new School of Commerce in which are offered the very best facilities in all business linés has been estab- 
lished. NO TUITION IS CHARGED, BUT THE INSTRUCTION IS THE VERY BEST OBTAINABLE. 


Time Required. vs : . 
If you are a High School Graduate, you can probably finish the full course in one year. If you wish to 


learn merely Bookkeeping, Stenography and Typewriting, you can master these satisfactorily i in one year. 
For further information, send for catalogue. 


THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMEINT. 
URPOSE of the School. 


As the name indicates, the Pre- 
paratory Department prepares for the 
colleges, It is maintained for the benefit 
of those who have no High School privi- 
leges at home. If there is a High School 
in your town, don’t think of going any- 
where else, until you have completed the 
course there offered. But if there is no 
High School and you want an education,’ 
plan to enter the Preparatory Department 
of the University. 


Requirements for Admission. 
To enter, you will have to pass ex- 





aminations in Arithmetic, Grammar, Ge- 
ography, U.S. History, Physiology and THE COTTAGE—YOUNG WOMEN’S DORMITORY. 
Civics, unless you have certificates from the High School Board in these subjects. < 
Time Required. 

The course in this department requires three full years for its completion. This is a year longer than 
some (so-called) preparatory courses; but this is because the course is up to the eastern standard, while the 


short-cut courses are not, as is evident from the very fact that they require a shorter time. 


Expense. 
In all the departments, except Law, the tuition is free; room rent, including heat and light, hot and 


cold water, is seventy-five cents per week; table board, $2.75 per week. How could it be less? 
For further information, send for catalogue. 


AVIS HALL, where most of the 
young ladies live, is a commodious 
building, containing a spacious dining 
hall, a beautiful parlor and a large num- 
ber of attractive rooms. It makes a de- 
lightful College home. And where else 
in the world can you get a comfortable 
room, heated by steam, lighted by elec- 
tricity, with privilege of baths, laundry, 
and parlor, all for seventy-five cents a 
week. 


The Best Education Now Offered 
at Home. 


Heretofore, young men and young 
women desiring to secure superior advan- 
tages in these departments have been 
obliged to go east. That will no longer 
be necessary. The opportunity is now 
offered at home. The expense will be

be at the great eastern technical schools; but it will be the aim to make the course just as thorough and valuable.

2. Whocan enter? Anyone who has completed Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography, U. S. History, 
Physiology and Civics can enter the Preparatory, Normal or Commercial Departments by presenting High 
School Certificates in these subjects, a second grade teacher’s certificate, or by passing an entrance examination. 

Anyone who has completed a course equivalent to ‘that offered by a first-class State High School can 
enter any of the College departments. 


Anyone who has 
partially completed a 
High School course will 
be given due credit for

but it is always difficult. 

Therefore, if possible, plan to enter at the beginning of the year or term. For late registration, an extra fee 
of one dollar is charged. The regular enrollment for the fall term takes place September 23, 1902. 

4. Can T choose my own studies and take just what [ wish? Yes—that is, you can do so with a few 
limitations. If you wish to take a full course in any department, certain studies are prescribed, though in 
every department there is considerable opportunity for choice. If, however, you wish to take a special course 
purstiing studies along some particular line, you may do so, taking any work for which you are prepared. For 
example, if you wish to take up Stenography and Typewriting, but don’t care for Commercial Arithmetic or 
Bookkeeping, you may do so. Of course you ought to take a complete course in the department in which you 
enroll; but if you cannot do this, you are allowed to take what you feel you need most.

rooms? A bed, chairs, 
tables, and book cases 
are provided in each 
room. Each student 
needs to furnish his own 
bedding, towels, and 
such decorations in the 
way of pictures, curtains 
and the like as his taste 
suggests. 

6. Low about 
the social life of the 
University? The young 





people at the University 

PARLOR INDAVIS HALL. . have avery pleasant time. 

Every week there is a reception in the large parlor in Davis Hall. There are also occasional gatherings 

of a more formal character, sometimes in Davis Hall, sometimes in the Armory. There are occasional lectures 

by prominent speakers. The literary societies give open entertainments. The different classes have their 

annual banquets. During every winter there are entertainments of a high character in the City of Grand 
Forks. Altogether there is abundant opportunity for a pleasant and profitable social life. 

7. Religious life at the University. Naturally the University cannot be sectarian; but the faculty is 
made up entirely of Christian men and women. There isa Young Men’s Christian Association, and a Young 
Woman’s Christian Association. A religious service is held in the college chapel every morning, and a longer 
one in the parlor every Sunday evening. Besides these, a prayer meeting is held in one building or the other 
almost every night during the college year. . 


The University om- 
nibuses run into town 
every Sunday to accom- 
modate those desiring to 
attend church in the city. 
All the Grand Forks 
churches and pastors take 
a warm interest in the 
Universityandthe 
students. No one can 
say that the religious 
element is not encour- 
aged at the State Uni- 
versity.

military drill two times a week through the preparatory course and through the first years of the college course. 
The work is directed by an army officer, who is a graduate of West Point. 

The young women are instructed in physical culture three times a week by a specially trained teacher. 
They use the drill hall in the Armory, and have ample room for carefully selected and vanes ESE 

In addition to the regular drills, base ball, foot ball, basket ball, and tennis, and in ws winter, safe 
skating rinks, made by flooding portions of the campus, afford excellent opportunities for vigorous outdoor 
exercise. 

The attitude of the University is favorable to the use and control of athletics. She pele in athletics 
used, not abused. She knows that vigorous, clean sport contributes to healthy bodies and minds, and there- 
fore is a large factor in developing high types of morality among her youth.
